[Few months later, Phil writes in his journal for the first time in months]

So, there was a weird change going on with Will. I woke you to no yelling this morning, and that isn't like them. I've been taking him to school still but...it's different. He's a lot quieter than normal lately, and he isn't on his walky talky much anymore. It makes me worried... I think I am worrying myself. I don't know why I am like this. It's terrible. I feel like I can't breathe. I feel like it is a pain that never stops. I just can't. Maybe I need help. Like, this has never happened. My head isn't straight. I need to get help.

Phil jumped at the loud knock on the door as he looked around the dirty house. There were coffee cups all over the countertop, there were dirty dishes in the sink and plates on the dining room table. He got up and answered the door.
"Hey Phil" Will said as he walked in the house.
"Oh- hey Will. Sorry the place is a mess, it's just been a bit busy."
"When is techno coming back?" He said sitting on a couch.
Phil started grabbing the coffee mugs as he said, "Not sure, he will probably be back in a few months."
Will looked at the dining table from the couch, seeing the journal. He started walking over to the journal.
"Do you want something to eat bud?"
Will grabbed the journal and looked at it.
Phil looked back as Wilbur picked up the book, "Bud- oh, a-are you reading that?"
Will quickly put it down, and trembled. "I-I am sorry! I didn't mean to, I-it just looked like a book. I am sorry!"
Phil put the cups down, " Will, it's fine it's just- it's my journal that I write down my thoughts. And it's ok."
Will quickly went to the couch and went silent.
Phil thought for a moment before speaking, "I am kinda scared about that reaction...everything ok?"
Wilbur didn't respond.
"Will?"
Wilbur stayed silent and almost still.
"Wilbur!!"
Will jumped a bit. Phil came over to him, "Will, please tell me if anything is going on. Please." Wilbur paused and just hugged Phil. Phil understood that he didn't want to talk so he just hugged until Wilbur let go.
"Can we go to the river?"
"Yeah, let's go." Phil picks up the light weighted boy and walks out the door.
